The Main Injector Particle Production Experiment (E907/P960) at Fermilab

Presented by Nickolas Solomey, Wichita State University

The MIPP experiment measures charged particle production in interactions of pions, kaons, protons, and their anti-particles at momenta ranging from 5 to 120 GeV/c on cryogenic and solid targets spanning the periodic table from hydrogen to uranium and on the composite NuMI neutrino production target. Particle tracks are measured with a TPC and 24 wire-chamber planes and particles are identified through TPC dE/dx, ToF, Ckov, and RICH detectors. The experiment performance, recent cross-section results from data taken in 2005 and 2006, and an upgrade future run plan will be presented. New results on charged Kaon mass from a unique method will also be covered.
